THANK YOU TO THE KU COMMUNITY
I'd like to thank everyone who sent cards and comforting words to me on the recent loss of my mother. It has been a difficult journey, but the care shown to me by my KU family has made it just a bit easier and is greatly appreciated. Please accept my heartfelt thank you.
